Simple Avocado Toast Recipe

Hey y'all!

I think we can all agree that avocados are pretty trendy. Think I'm wrong? Then let me know why they have their very own emoji 🥑 (still waiting on the flamingo, Apple..) Along with the avocado cult is the one and only avocado toast. Not only is it extremely delicious, but it's also aesthetically pleasing, as I'm sure you've seen all over your Instagram feed.

The first time I ever made avocado toast, I literally just put a mashed up avocado on toast. Don't get me wrong, I love avocado and I love toast, but it was just so bland. Needless to say, it wasn't super yummy, and I didn't really understand the hype.

But after experimenting and listening to other people's opinions of what the perfect avocado toast recipe is, I have finally perfected my own vegan avo-toast!

How I Decorated My Apartment on a College Girl's Budget

Hey y'all!

I love home decor. I could spend hours on end walking around Target, Home Goods or Hobby Lobby, just looking at all of the stuff they have. But I think we can all agree that buying stuff for our homes adds up pretty quickly. When I first moved in, I always had to remind myself that it's a marathon and not a sprint!


In all honesty, I'm not completely in love with the space I live in right now. Since I'm still in college, I rent my furniture. I rented it through my apartment complex so it was a "get what you get and you don't throw a fit" situation. All of the furniture is dark wood tops with silver metal trimmings. Definitely not the vibe I'm going for.

So I thought I would share with you some of my favorite pieces I have in my apartment that helps to make it feel a little more like my own space (but are still super affordable)!

How to Avoid the Freshman 15

Hey y'all!

I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of the "Freshman 15", but if you haven't...
Freshman 15 : when a first year college student comes back the following year and appears to have gained about 15 pounds from eating too much and not enough exercise. - Urban Dictionary
I think a lot of people think it's a myth, but it really isn't. I have so many friends that have felt discouraged because they gained weight during their freshman year (or the sophomore 30). A lot of the time, weight gain sneaks up on us and it's not until we look back at a picture and think "wow, I used to look like THAT?"

Well, I'm lucky enough that I actually lost 5 lbs when I was a freshman in college! So I hope that you take my advice because it's a lot easier to be proactive and avoid gaining weight rather than to gain it and try to work it off!



5 Free Mother's Day Cards


Hey y'all!

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and that makes me so so happy!! Not only do I get to celebrate one of my favorite people, but I get to go home and see her -- ya know, the whole college out-of-state thing is fun until it comes to holidays where you can't spend them with your fam.

I think we can all agree that our mothers are the coolest people around. They take care of us when we are sick, help us wipe away the tears when we are sad, and are always cheering on the side lines when you're kicking ass at life. Moms seriously rock!!

I would consider my mom one of my best friends and I tell her everything that's going on in my life -- that basically means if I hate you, so does Lenore, sorry!! I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I FaceTime her at least once a week, and I'm constantly calling her asking how to cook something (your girl is trying to be #housewifematerial but I had no clue how to roast garlic in the oven last week...) 

So I hope that like me, you're making/getting/planning something special for Mother's Day. To make your life a little easier, you can download one (or all, I don't judge) of these prints to be the perfect little side-kick to the main attraction for your mom.
